Imagine if, four years after invading Iraq, we controlled only 20% of it and had suffered 1.3 million casualties. Would anyone call that “winning”? Of course not. But when it’s Russia, we’re supposed to believe Putin holds all the cards.

Trump’s EPA wants to remove public participation and transparency from certain air pollution permits. Those permits cover the large diesel generators that help power data centers — and pollute the air. Trump is selling our right to breathe clean air to enrich his Big Tech donors.

The bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission has found probable cause that Elon Musk violated the state's election bribery law by promising voters $1 million payouts ahead of the 2025 Wisconsin Supreme Court election — referring two complaints to the Brown County District Attorney.

Booker: Do you all know that they were constantly chipping away? I was told we would have 13 minutes for questioning. Then they brought it down to 10. Ten minutes of questioning for the confirmation of the highest law enforcement official in the land has never been done before.

KEY: all three witnesses are being detained apart, and their story is consistent. They say that there were agents along the side of the vehicle but none in front. When you add the videos showing a lack of evidence of damage to the front despite ICE's ramming claim, ICE's story is falling apart.

He gets confused and doesn't know where he is, so he needs labels to avoid getting lost.

Trump can’t stop hanging ugly gold signs on the White House. He unveiled a label for ‘The West Wing’ on Truth Social. Apparently all the gaudy signs he’s already put up couldn’t keep him from getting lost.

NEW: For the first time since 1995, the Bureau of Land Management is rewriting its grazing regulations. The new rule, which governs ranching across 155 million acres of public lands in the West, would heavily favor the livestock industry.

Justice Alito’s son works inside Trump’s Treasury. Alito ruled on a case where Treasury was the defendant and didn’t recuse. The WSJ says calling this out is “attacking the Court.” No. Federal law requires recusal when impartiality “might reasonably be questioned.”

The President should not personally profit from his office. I would think this is an obvious point we could all agree on.

BARTIROMO: Democrats want to ban the president and his family from crypto endeavors SEN. KEVIN CRAMER: One of the thing Democrats are never going to accept is that we have a business person as president. I reject the idea that somehow Donald Trump has to be exempt from being successful.

I'm posting this video every day so we NEVER forget what insurrectionist Donald Trump did on J6 Instead of accepting defeat and honoring the peaceful transfer of power, Trump unleashed a deadly mob on the U.S. Capitol in a last-ditch attempt to stay in power THIS is what an insurrection looks like

The world's first trillionaire ‼️ While 2 billion people lack clean water, 800 million go hungry, 250 million children are out of school globally, and Americans sleep on streets that could be cleared for less than it costs to leave them there... 😏 I wouldn't be able to sleep at night 🤷🏼‍♀️ #ElonMusk

On this date in 2023, Donald Trump became the first former U.S. president to be charged with federal crimes as he was arraigned in a Miami courtroom; he pleaded not guilty to 37 felony charges that related to his alleged mishandling of classified documents.

Wouldn’t it be nice if the world’s first trillionaire wasn’t responsible for policies that led to the deaths of several hundred thousand people worldwide?

HOLY SH*T, this parting statement by Scott Pelley is WILD: "New management has instructed me to INJECT FALSEHOODS AND BIAS into a politically sensitive story. I've been told to include assertions that are unverified." I bet he knows a LOT more, too. 🔥

Trump’s pick for acting DNI has zero intelligence experience. What he has: a track record of using government power to target Trump’s enemies. By making him acting, no Senate confirmation required. This one matters. joycevance.substack.com/p/if-you-tho...

So, the slush fund was just a fringe benefit. What Trump really cares about is the “almost as good as a pardon” deal he gave himself via the IRS. Explained here: joycevance.substack.com/p/almost-as-...

Trump during the campaign on Feb 2, 2023 to Fox: “I will end that war in 24 hours. It won’t even be hard. You have to get them both in a room. And there are things you can say to them, which I won’t reveal now, which will guarantee that this war will end immediately.”

The real welfare queen in America is Jeff Bezos, worth $279 billion, who pays wages so low his workers rely on food stamps and Medicaid while he sailed on his $500 million yacht to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring because his tax rate is less than 1%.

This is a truly astonishing story about how the incompetence of Trump's political hacks makes them unable do the most basic tasks.

A Trump-appointed US Attorney with no experience told grand jurors they'd hear about “bad guys” and “murderers” who “did what you are going to hear about.” He handed them business cards. The cases got tossed—and three days later, he got confirmed. Extraordinary via NYT/Alan Feuer buff.ly/xpnVcJ7

Experts are projecting that the war in Iran will cost taxpayers $1 trillion. The people in charge just gave the richest 1% a $1 trillion tax break. And they really want us to believe SNAP and healthcare are the problem?? Get real.
